From boundary walls to rear extensions, solid groundwork starts with accurate footings and foundations. We work across SW2, including projects near Tulse Hill station and around Brockwell Park, where access and neighbouring properties often demand careful planning. Our team handles excavation, formwork, reinforcement and concrete pours with clear communication throughout. The result is a stable base designed to reduce movement and future cracking.
Tulse Hill’s mix of Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and post-war estates means no two sites are the same. Older homes can have shallow existing foundations, shared walls and tight side returns, while estate blocks may require different load considerations and access planning. We regularly support homeowners in nearby Brixton, Herne Hill and West Norwood with structural groundwork that suits the property’s age and layout. If you’re upgrading a garden room or extension, we’ll size the solution to the build, not guess.
Our process begins with a site visit, levels and scope review, then a clear method statement for excavation and pour day. We install wall footings, pier footings or strip footings as required, using steel reinforcement where specified by engineering. Building Control compliance is built in, with inspections coordinated at the right stages. Homeowners choose us for clean working practices, dependable scheduling and a 10-year warranty on qualifying works.

Costs vary with depth, soil conditions, access and the footprint of the build. As a guide, small wall footings may start from £900–£2,000, while foundations for a typical rear extension often fall around £4,500–£12,000. Pier footings or engineered solutions can be higher due to reinforcement and inspections. We provide a site-specific quote after checking levels, spoil removal and concrete volume.
For many homes, excavation and pouring can take 2–5 working days, with additional time for inspections and curing before building continues. Larger extensions may take 1–2 weeks depending on depth, reinforcement, and whether underpinning or drainage alterations are needed. Access in SW2 streets, skip/grab-lorry timing and weather can also affect the schedule. We set out a realistic programme before starting.
Footings and foundations themselves usually fall under Building Regulations rather than planning permission, especially when they support an extension or wall that may be permitted development. However, Lambeth requirements can change depending on conservation considerations, party wall matters, and proximity to boundaries or trees. We’ll advise what approvals are likely, help you prepare for Building Control inspections, and flag anything that may require a planning check before work begins.
Yes—our qualifying footings and foundations work comes with a 10-year warranty. This covers workmanship issues related to the installed foundations, such as defects arising from incorrect installation or poor materials. It does not cover movement caused by factors outside our control, such as major structural alterations by others, severe leaks, or extreme ground changes. We also document reinforcement and pour details for peace of mind.
Options typically include strip footings for continuous walls, trench-fill foundations, and pier footings for point loads such as posts or structural beams. We use reinforced concrete where engineering calls for steel, and we can incorporate starter bars for future walls or retaining structures. The right design depends on loads, soil, nearby trees and access. We liaise with your engineer and Building Control to confirm the best specification.
